Agree - mostly the opinions are just dated, in 2005-2012 the pure FP world (especially Scala) was in rough shape but then in 2018 Maybe Not (the really controversial talk about "Maybe Sheep") it didn't seem like he had taken the time to understand haskell. I would love to see how his opinions have evolved since then, in the 2017 interview with fogus he said "If I had more free time, I’d spend it with Haskell". Haskell has especially come a long way in 2018-2022 with the popularization of functional effect systems which are extraordinarily powerful; for example https://github.com/leonoel/missionary (2020-2022) is the best Clojure effect system and is a leap forward over core.async (2013), but that 9 year difference is a lifetime in CS
That said, I still think Clojure would be stronger with some kind of static checking. When working in hairier pieces of code, I tend to use orchestra to instrument my functions as a sort of crude type checking. It's not static and it's not foolproof, but it's better than nothing. I'm very much excited by the new frontiers Typescript has opened up in structural static type checking, and I'm hopeful that type theory researchers will come up with something one day that's a better fit for Clojure. Alas, we do not yet live in that future.
